How To Get Investment Property Financing In New York – Your Options – Comax Properties

Often, first time investors use their own money to invest first. This usually works to buy a couple of properties free-and-clear but soon, most people run out of their own capital… which means they either have to stop buying real estate or they have to figure out how to buy more real estate without using their own money.

In this blog post, we’ll share a number of ways that you can finance your next investment property.

How to get investment property financing in Long Island New York…

There are several ways to get money to buy an investment property in Long Island. Here are some of your options:

1. Traditional Banks and Lending Institutions

One way to finance your next investment is to borrow money through a bank or lending institution. If you have good credit, and enough money for a down payment, then this can be an effective way to acquire more properties — potentially several more properties!

You’ll need to make sure that your credit score is in good shape, so be sure to pay your debts on time, and pay them off in full regularly to demonstrate a history of good credit management. Once you build up good credit, financial institutions will be willing to lend to you and you can go out and acquire properties.

At some point, however, your debt-to-income ratio might exceed a bank’s desire to lend to you, once you have a certain number of properties under ownership. When this happens, then it’s time to turn to other sources to finance your real estate investments.

2. Self-Financing

One very clever way of financing your real estate investing is to borrow against your existing investments and use that money to buy new investments.

For example, if you own a couple of properties and they have some equity in them, why not borrow against them (by refinancing them or by taking out a home equity line of credit) and using that money to acquire more properties. This is the power of leverage at work in your investments!

Of course you’ll want to be careful that your debt servicing payments are not more than the income you earn from your new acquisitions but there are investors who build up a large portfolio just with their own credit and this self-financing strategy!

3. Private Lending

Another way to finance your real estate investment in Long Island is to use a private lender.

Private lending is when another investor lends you their money. You pay them back, just like you would pay back a bank; the only difference is: private lenders don’t always look at your credit score; they’re often more interested in the investment itself and they’ll decide how much to lend you and what interest rate to charge based on their assessment of the property.

This is a very powerful kind of financing because it’s win/win: You win by getting the money you need to do deals; the private lender wins because they want to invest in real estate and have the money to do so but don’t have the time or desire to do the work themselves.

If you are a private lender who wants to invest in real estate without the effort of doing the work yourself, be sure to connect with us at 516-704-7025 — we can hook you up with some investors who are looking for money for their deals!

4. Seller Financing

Another great way to finance real estate investments is to use seller financing. It has become a bit more difficult with new federal regulations… but it can be done.

Seller financing is where you work with the seller themselves who will sell the property to you… but instead of getting a lump sum for the property, they simply take ongoing payments until it’s all paid off.

“Newbie investors” are sometimes surprised that this method even exists but sellers like it because they get the cash flow without the headache of property ownership (plus their risk is minimized because if you fail to pay, the title of the property reverts back to them). This is another win/win deals.

We had to get rid of my family home, which was sad but it was time. I first met Joe in the summer of 2018. He was very professional, kind and was so understanding of my circumstances . I felt comfortable with him from day one. He was with me through the whole process and I could not have asked for a better experience . Joe was always a phone call away with any concerns or questions I had. I would highly recommend Joe Cordes. He is the best !!

I first met Joe from Comax Properties when he helped out some of my clients, who were being foreclosed on and needed to sell their house via short sale. He was easy to work with and throughout the entire process, he was extremely professional, straightforward and respectful of my client’s wishes and needs. Most importantly, he was honest and did exactly what he said he was going to do, which relieved much of the stress my clients were feeling about the short sale process.
